The committee suggested the following events be continued: Parade, fireworks, fire truck, face painting,
family fun & games and petting zoo. Steve Makowske said he will continue the golf event but will
change the name to Golf Festival and include Fling Golf. The committee asked how many people the
library had for their program and if children had to be accompanied by an adult. Sue LaCrosse will
check. Cathy Ballot said Rotary would like to continue the Family Fun & Games event. She said in the
past they have always had large numbers of people. The number of prizes given out will be decreased
and they will look at having some new games. Lin Myszkowski said no to the craft & business expo.
